Accelerate Admissions and Clinical Efficiency with Custom Hospice AI
Stop losing referrals to slow intake response times. We build AI systems that integrate with your EMR to automate documentation, triage on-call needs, and support grieving families.
In the hospice sector, the window for admission is critical, often requiring a 24-48 hour turnaround from referral to bedside. Agencies frequently lose patients to competitors because admission coordinators are bogged down by manual data entry into systems like MatrixCare or WellSky. Furthermore, clinical staff face a massive documentation burden to satisfy CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and Joint Commission standards, leading to burnout and high turnover.
Read Laboratories bridges this gap by deploying AI agents that monitor referral sources, extract data from faxed hospital records, and pre-populate EMR fields. By automating the routine aspects of bereavement follow-up and on-call routing, your clinical directors can focus on high-acuity patient needs while ensuring that the 13-month bereavement requirement is met without manual spreadsheet tracking.
Problems We Solve
Delayed Referral Response
Referrals often arrive via fax or portal after hours. Our AI monitors these channels 24/7, extracts patient data, and alerts the on-call coordinator within seconds, ensuring you are the first agency to respond.
Clinical Documentation Burnout
Nurses spend hours on IDG (Interdisciplinary Group) notes. We implement voice-to-structured-data AI that maps clinical observations directly into Suncoast or Axxess, reducing charting time by up to 50%.
Fragmented Family Communication
Families often feel left in the dark during the transition to hospice. Our AI-driven SMS updates provide real-time status changes and education, reducing the volume of non-urgent 'status check' calls to the office.
Bereavement Compliance Risk
CMS requires a 13-month bereavement follow-up plan. We automate the scheduling and personalized outreach for these contacts, ensuring no family falls through the cracks and your agency remains audit-ready.
On-Call Triage Fatigue
AI-powered voice agents can handle initial on-call triage, distinguishing between a medication refill request and an active crisis, routing the call to the appropriate staff member with a summarized transcript.
What You Get
EMR Data Bridge
Bidirectional AI syncing for MatrixCare, WellSky, and Axxess to eliminate duplicate data entry and ensure real-time patient records.
Smart Referral Extraction
OCR and NLP technology that reads hospital discharge papers and automatically identifies diagnosis codes and medication lists.
HIPAA-Compliant Family Portals
Secure AI interfaces where family members can get instant answers to care questions based on the current plan of care.
Predictive Staffing Analytics
AI models that analyze patient census and acuity levels to predict weekend staffing needs and prevent nurse burnout.

What It Costs
Setup
$5,000 - $25,000
Monthly
$500 - $2,000
ROI Example
By capturing just 2 additional referrals per month through faster response times, an agency can generate an extra $24,000+ in monthly revenue, covering the annual AI cost in less than 60 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AI HIPAA compliant?
Yes. We use Enterprise-grade AI models with Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) in place. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and we never use your patient data to train public models.
Does this work with my current EMR like MatrixCare or Axxess?
We specialize in building middleware that connects to your EMR via API or secure RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to ensure data flows seamlessly without manual entry.
How long does a typical implementation take?
Most hospice AI integrations are fully operational within 4 to 8 weeks, including a testing phase to ensure documentation accuracy and compliance.
Will this replace our admission coordinators?
No. Our AI is designed to be a 'co-pilot.' It handles the data extraction and administrative tasks so your coordinators can focus on building relationships with hospital case managers and families.
Can the AI handle bereavement follow-ups?
Yes, it can manage the 13-month outreach calendar, send personalized digital messages, and flag families that require a higher level of social worker intervention based on their responses.
How do you ensure clinical accuracy in AI-generated notes?
We utilize a 'Human-in-the-Loop' workflow where AI generates drafts based on clinician input, which must be reviewed and signed off by the nurse before being committed to the patient record.
